Solvay Brussels School regains its #1 in Belgium spot in FT Ranking for Masters in Management 2012

Monday, 17th of September 2012 – Brussels - Today, the Financial Times (FT) releases its Master in Management ranking for 2012. Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management (SBS-EM) is proud to announce it has regained its # 1 spot in Belgium by maintaining itself at the 25th position. IAG-Louvain School of Management is second in Belgium at the 29th position while Vlerick Business School is at the 32nd position and 3rd in Belgium.

Solvay Brussels School's Dean, Bruno van Pottelsberghe reacted: "It's an honor for our School to gain such recognition for its Master in Business Engineering. The FT rankings are an important guide for potential students, executive education participants and members of the scientific community. To maintain ourselves in the top 25 worldwide and the Number 1 spot in Belgium in such a competitive market as the Business/Management School market is an accomplishment that we owe to our outstanding international faculty body and most likely also to our unique proposition in the Belgian market, being the only institution to be focusing on the intersection between business and economics."

SBS-EM hopes to progress in the FT ranking next year mostly by furthering its international reach. Bruno van Pottelsberghe continues: “Our strategy is simple. We want to develop a maximum of opportunities to improve our students’ international experience. This is why we initiated and launched early in September a brand new network master with several partners across Europe. The “QTEM”, network master* in Quantitative Techniques for Economics & Management, is today comprised of Solvay Brussels School, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Université de Lausanne and BI Norwegian Business School. But we aim to expand to more than 20 partners worldwide rapidly. We are also working on structural partnerships with other European business school”
